People born on July 24 are extroverts. Their enthusi- astic espousal of the unusual, as well as the strong expression of their beliefs (often designed to attract others’ attention) is testimony to that. Yet their person- alities cannot be defined so simplistically, for underlying the self-confident veneer they typically adopt is a more reflective and sensitive core that enables them intui- tively to absorb the finer details of a situation, or the intangible emotions transmitted by others. When these two sides to their characters exist in harmony, the resul- tant combination makes July 24 individuals formidably effective instruments of progress, who typically support their energetic quest for recognition with remarkable perspicacity, and often even empathy for those whose worth society generally discounts. When their protec- tive instincts are aroused, those born on this day will bravely champion the cause of the downtrodden or abused, but in less extreme circumstances their ambi- tions are usually concerned with their personal desires: for fame, financial rewards and material comforts.
Thus, although July 24 people may pursue human- itarian careers, they may equally be found assiduously furthering their own interests as commercial entrepre- neurs. Their talents suit them to a variety of professions, with the proviso that they must be allowed either to assume a leadership role, or else act as independent agents—as artists, for instance—if they are to flour- ish. Inevitably, their strong wills arouse similarly strong responses in others, but even when negative they will usually accept constructive criticism with grace. And, when assured of the love of those closest to them, they reciprocate such support with great generosity, loyalty and affection.
